It seems like it was just a few years ago that the baboon from The Lion King was encouraging kids to “stuff bananas up your ass”, and now they’re at it again. A parent in the UK is reporting that the Monsters Inc. Gameboy game he bought his daughter for Christmas told them to “Fuck off and die.” Tch. That’s not very nice, Mr. Eisner.

A GIRL of seven found the words “F*** off and die” on her Disney computer game.

Beki Stewart pointed out the “naughty word” to dad Mark on the opening credits of Monsters, Inc - based on the hit kids’ film.

Spread the word!
